Too bad that will be under your car where nobody can see it.

That exhaust is really nice man. Fits well with all of the other high quality stuff going on. I need to see this thing in person one of these days.

The Getrag diffs are a little tricky to sneak 3" piping past, I just did this on my NB before MRLS and it turned out well, but not this pretty. Your fabricator is definitely more skilled than I am.

The way the level is placed in the last pic makes it look like the car is upside down... Or is it? Maybe that's how they were able to make it look so good!

He definitely has skill...a few more with the trans mount and other various shots

Almost there... a little more welding and making a vacuum reservoir for the valve. Plan is for 3 exhaust modes...full straight, full muffled, and variable which will be programmed through the megasquirt/MAC solenoid. I love the way it looks.

This makes a lot more sense now. I was wondering why you were just plugging the exhaust when it's closed lol! Looks freaking awesome, can't wait to see the end result.

Can’t say I’ve ever seen it done like that before, neat.
Though wouldn’t one of those varex mufflers do the same with Way less work?
